Hanalei River

Kona Islander Inn is a great low cost option for staying in Kona. Its location on Alii Drive makes everything walkable.

The property was beautiful clean and plenty of towels ect. But didnt have toilet brushes. We needed more bin holders we where only given 2 for 10 days with kids. And a broom. Or..dust pan and brush to pick up fine stuff, sand in the toilets or kitchen area. A few more Coffee, Tea, Sugar, Salt and Pepper ingredients wouldnt go astray. Its is a lovely big lounge area to feel homely. Just need a bit more for thought...in the kitchen, save buying it. We ended up buying them.and donated them the young guy on the front desk...family man with 4 kids. And gave him a nice tip, for his help planning our way around the city, ubers calls...ect. Our plane arrived at 11.30 so we got in a 2.30 early...4.00 checks seems the norm...but if the room is ready...it shouldnt be a issue..a quick message and we where in. It made our day run more smoothly...sitting around in foyer waiting to get in...was hard. So the front desk allowed us to go into the pool...which we where eternal grateful for. The convenience of being near a major shopping center was great...quick dinner in food courts, made the family life easier for all. Waikiki was too busy for me...but each to there own. Rooms are spacious and views lovely...no need for Air Conditioning that high up.

I had the best 40th birthday a girl could ask for!!
